The threshold of hearing is defined as the minimum discernible intensity of the sound. It is approximately 10−12w/m2. Find the distance d from the car at which the sound from the stereo can still be discerned. Assume that the windows are rolled down and that each speaker actually produces 0.06 w of sound

The distance d from the car at which the sound from the stereo can still be discerned = 97720.5 m

Explanation:

Sound intensity heard at distance is related to the distance with the relation = (power of sound at the source)/(surface area of the wall of an imaginary sphere at the distance in question)

I = P/4πd²

Assuming the car has 2 speakers,

P = 0.06 W × 2 = 0.12 W

d = ?

For the intensity of the least discernible sound,

I = 10⁻¹² W/m²

10⁻¹² = 0.12/4πd²

d = 97720.5 m
